Royal Ascot on the agenda for progressive Rain Delay

GER LYONS, whose horses are now threatening to hit top gear, was on the mark at Cork last night when Rain Delayed took the featured Listed Cork Stakes over six furlongs.

“We thought he’d need the race”, said Lyons’ brother, Shane. “He’s a gutsy horse and Keagan (Latham) gave him a great ride.”

Miss Gorica, fresh from defying 10-8 in a handicap at Navan last Sunday, set a furious gallop and had most of these in trouble a long way out.
